Internal Medicine, Geriatrics

150 Muir, Martinez, CA 94553

Dr. Vivek Singh practices geriatrics (elderly care) in Stockton, CA and Fresno, CA.

"I do not recommend this person as a medical doctor nor as a human being. He emotionally abused his patient's family and also encouraged his staff to abuse them. This objectification of them led to his unbalanced, African-American home health care worker to react to her firing by violently assaulting a family member. The hospital and home health agency tried to protect Dr. Singh and their reputations instead of doing what was ethically and socially just. "

What is Geriatrics?

Geriatrics is the subspecialty of internal medicine that provides primary care to older adults. Physical health tends to decline with age, and geriatricians work to manage such age-related concerns as chronic illness, frailty, multiple medications, and declining mental health to keep seniors as active and independent as possible.

Some of the most common concerns seen by a geriatrician include:

Mobility issues, including the need for canes and walkers, as well as preventing falls
Osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, which affects as many as a quarter of all men and half of all women over fifty
Loss of hearing or vision
Incontinence, or the inability to control one's bladder
Memory loss, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease

A geriatrician may also provide their patients with comprehensive care that includes checking on their social health. Seniors are at increased risk for poverty, loneliness, abuse, and injuries in the home. As part of their health care, a geriatrician may inquire about family support, living conditions, or the ability of a patient to perform daily self-care tasks.

In some cases, a geriatrician may serve as an advisor to other physicians on a specific case or condition. However, most of the time geriatrics is a primary care specialty, and geriatricians provide routine health care to the older patients they work with.
